PREFACE.

DICTIONARIES have certainly not received those improvements, either in
plan or execution, which their increased utility has rendered essentially neces-
sary. The difficulty of their execution sufficiently accounts for this tardiness
in their advancement ; and the most ignorant reader may often discover an
error in what relates to his own particular branch of knowledge, although he
may be very unequal to appreciate the merits of any other subject. But the
study, or rather the mode of acquiring a knowledge of languages, has made as
little progress as the compilation of dictionaries. Grammarians have multiplied
divisions, and involved themselves in the subordinate details of grammar,
without considering the general and necessary principles of speech, the depend-
ence of oral language on the organs of the voice, or the analogies between the
modes of thinking, the sentiment, and the language of a particular people.
Hence it is, that persons often labour for years to become familiar with the sub-
divisions and classifications of words, when a knowledge of what may be truly
called the spirit of a language, might be acquired in a few hours, and all other
knowledge respecting it would follow as a consequence of imbibing its spirit.
Whoever considers words as the efforts of the mind to communicate its ideas
and feelings, will soon discover the universal principles of language, and the
great similarity of all tongues. With a knowledge of these general elements,
it is easy to recognise, and even to feel, the spirit of any particular language or
dialect ; and hence, the study of different languages becomes not only simple
and easy, but really instructive, as it presents incomparably the most faithful
pictures of all mental operations, of ideas and passions, as influenced by reli-
gion, laws, and civil polity, or climate. Some linguists, indeed, are contented
with knowing the grammatical distinctions and the names of a coat or a book
in several languages, without any regard to the extension of useful knowledge,
and forgetting that a mere vocabulary may be acquired by a mechanical effort
of the memory, independent of judgment. Such vocabularists make no dis-
coveries in the arts or sciences ; they never extend the actual boundaries of
our knowledge, still less do they meliorate their own minds, give to their rea-
son an absolute ascendency over their passions, or expand their benevolent, at
the expense of their selfish feelings. To obviate such pedantry and lettered
uselessness. has been one of the chief objects of the present edition of this Spa-
nish and English Dictionary, which, it is hoped, contains not only many thou-
sand more words than are to be found in the most copious vocabularies, but
also much practical and useful information, correct data from which the nature

and operations of the human mind in Spain and in England may be deduced ;
more facts, principles and terms, now used in the sciences, arts, manufactures,
and commerce, than in any similar dictionary hitherto published, and likewise
more of the modern words in the polite or jfamiliar conversation of both coun-
tries.

When it is remembered that words are the representatives of ideas, and
that the language of any people is nearly a perfect picture of what passes or
exists in their minds, it will be evident that a complete dictionary must be a
faithful epitome of their intellectual labours ; their idiomatic phrases being but
abridged metaphors, or modes of saying one thing and meaning another, the
polite metaphors of the first age become the vulgarisms of the second, the ob-
solete language of the third, and the nervous expression of the fourth. In this
manner, taste, fashion, or the progress of civilization, and the effect of external
circumstances, modulate all living languages ; and every generation has its
circle of what is esteemed polite phraseology, in defiance of all critical dogmas,
or the more serious denunciations of censors and moralists. This continued
succession of popular phrases (for the words of conversation in one age gene-
rally form but a very small part of any cultivated language), contributes to aug-
ment the interest of well-digested dictionaries, which thereby enable the writer
of taste and reflection to select the best, the most harmonious, the purest, and
most moral phraseology that the language of successive ages affords. To the.
divine, the moralist, and the metaphysician, it is no less important ; as, words
being the offspring of ideas and things, the existence of the former is the most
unequivocal demonstration of that of the latter. For instance, the French have
very justly and naturally a term signifying a man or a woman with a bad
breath, (Pimais and Punaise ;) the Spanish and English, being generally devoid
of this quality, have no corresponding term, and are without any such word.
This, however, is not the only difference between the languages and people of
those countries. With every French thought and word something of colour
and stage effect is associated ; it is the spirit of the people and of their lan-
guage, while that of Spain and England is metaphysical, or mere abstract truth
and reason. On the other hand, it must be admitted, that the philanthropic
observer of men and manners will view, with profound regret, the super-
abundance of Spanish epithets injurious to women, and feel perhaps disposed
to consider the virtue of females as the fairest criterion of national morality.
However this may be, there is evidently more wisdom in raising than depre-
ciating the moral qualities of those who necessarily teach the first rudiments
of knowledge, and certainly modulate the character of all mankind. Contrary
also to the vulgar and even traditional opinion in Britain, there is, in fact, no
radical and appropriate Spanish term, which exclusively and forcibly conveys
the same idea as the English word jealousy. Nevertheless the Spaniards have ,
evinced great wisdom in carefully guarding their language and sentiments from
the deteriorating influence 'of French corruption. In this respect, their con-
duct presents a noble example to the modern English, who really seem to be
almost ashamed of their mother tongue, and to have nearly forgotten that their
radical langflage is as old, and incomparably better than that of France. The
ashicnable and vulgar foplings of the day have expelled the s and t final
almost entirely from their jargon, and given an Anglo-Gallic pronunciation to
plain English words, that is more analogous to the hideous accents of unfortu-
nate maniacs than the tones of rational beings. Happily this practice is still
confined to the ignorant and comparatively illiterate ; but, however pity may
>e extended to the prude and the coquette, whose imbecile affectation may
abandon the definite and modest term shift, for the silly, vague, and not very
delicate one chemise (camis from xajx/rtov would be genuine English) ; it i;

impossible to have any other fee-ling than that of ineffable contempt for the
breeched animal, who in the British metropolis has lost his hat to find a cha-
peau. Such things require the admirable pen of Cadalso, in his Eruditos a la
Violeta. This absurdity is, indeed, become so enormous and offensive, as to
astonish and perplex strangers, while it excites the liveliest regret in the minds
of reflecting natives. It has been attempted to palliate this disgrace, by alleg-
ing that the English language is chiefly derived from the French. Some ety-
mologists, it is true, have read English through French spectacles, and indulg-
ed their indolence, or masked their ignorance, by producing parallel words
from the French. As to Home Tooke, the most visionary and illogical of all
etymologists, whatever is correct or good in his work, all his pretended disco-
veries of the E-TTsa •TrrsgosvTa, may be traced to what Spanish writers (Aldrete,
Mayans, &c.) have related of the manner in which the Goths corrupted the
Latin in Spain ; his ribaldry and blasphemy are his own ; but his errors have
been exposed with equal truth and eloquence by Professor Dugald Stewart.
There is, however, no notion more erroneous or unfounded, than that of the
English tongue being derived from the French, to which it, correctly speaking,
owes nothing whatever. The most cursory investigation must satisfy every
inquirer, that the grand basis of the English is the Anglo-Saxon, mixed with
Latin and Greek, which were popular languages in England at two different
periods of the dark ages. Some barbarous law terms, and a few, but very few,
other words, have been borrowed from the French, while the genius and spirit
of the language still bear the noble features of their Saxon and classic origin.
This was universally admitted, till Bolingbroke, and his follower Pope, in-
troduced the French style into prose and rhyme ; the former moralized to ob-
literate the remembrance of his treason, and the latter rhymed solely in imita-
tion of Boileau. Their example has been adopted by Gibbon, who aped Vol-
taire ; but it is the elephant imitating the monkey; his infidelity and occa-
sional obscenity betray his extreme want of morality and judgment, and suit
the Gallic tinsel of his monotonous jargon. In the voluminous writings of
Gibbon, it is perhaps impossible to find one sentence of pure English ; and the
foreigner, who wishes to have a correct knowledge of the language, will, it is
hoped, never read a page either of Bolingbroke or Gibbon in their English
form. Between the Spanish and English there is much more similarity than
between the French and English; and this Dictionary will furnish satisfactory
evidence, that both nations adopted the same Latin words, with the same sig-
nifications, into their vernacular dialects. Several of those words are marked
disused in both countries, some others are printed in capitals, while whole
families of words are still used, as indagar* from indagare, to indagate. The
judicious traveller, who has studied anatomy and physiognomy, and visited the
inhabitants in the valleys of Aragon and other northern provinces of Spain, and
who has also observed the natives of the Isle of Wight, and the inhabitants in
the valleys of the South Downs, will be at no loss to discover the most unequi-
vocal evidence of indentity of origin, and instantly conclude, that a branch of
the same race of Saxons (the Getae), who invaded the south-west of England,
must also have extended themselves to Spain. The physical traits of similarity
are as striking as those of the ancient Greeks, whose descendants still appear
in the valleys of Granada. The inquisitive reader may perhaps feel disposed
to pursue this subject much farther than it is here expedient. A writer in the
Archaeologia, .published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, has traced
the first inhabitants of Britain to the Iberians ; but it is easier to frame in-
genious theories than to collect facts and make correct observations. The
Saxon race is much less equivocal.

In order to facilitate the acquisition of English, it may here be proper to

notice its significant terminations, which somewhat exceed a hundred. The
terminations or affixes an, in, ine, and ana, have a possessive import, and signify
belonging to, as partizan is belonging to a party ; ee annexed to a verb mark
its personal object, patient, or result ; er to adjectives signifies before or supe-
rior ; but when cr, or, and our, are added to words signifying action, they
denote the person who acts ; as from love, lover : they also become abstract
nouns or general names of things, as from the Saxon mojifc, death, we have
murther or murder, and we was formerly written our, as plesour, now pleasure,
from the Latin placco, and not the French plaisir. Ess and ix are the only
feminine terminations, as ster is used to both sexes ; the Saxon ric or rick
marks possession or dominion ; en was the Saxon plural, still used in children,
&c. ; it also signifies made or consisting of, as golden ; and finished, as proven,
proved; to shorten, i. e. to make shorter: the difference between ed of the past
tense, and en of the participle, is, that in the former the action is considered, in
the latter its effects on the object ; gkt is the same as ed, finished, and the
latter in adjectives often becomes id ; the adjective affixes ant, ent, and sub-
stantive ones ance, ence, and end, denote being or state, as abundant is the
quality of being or existing in abundance ; and friend from pjieonbe, loving ;
hence the cause of its being still pronounced frend ; ing and ion simply indicate
the existence of quality or action, and ment or mony is of the like import ; i/e,
al, and ar, are adjective terminations expressing quality or disposition ; when
al is added to a verb, it is the same as ing or ion ; able and ible signify having
or possessing any quality or power ; ic, ick, ique, usque, imply kind, division, or
similarity ; ical is al and ic ; ch and ish have the same meaning, but the latter
is generally a diminutive ; ide, ulous, incle, and et, are also diminutives ; oon is
an augmentative ; y is derived from the Saxon 3, and corresponds to the Latin
ia ; Itj, like, and ably, indicate similarity ; ary, cry, and ory, express sort or
kind ; kin, kind, ling, and let, denote family or relation, but the two latter are
also diminutives ; ous, eous, wise, and ways, express kind, or manner of the
word to which they are affixed ; on makes a personal substantive of similarity,
as patron from pater, father ; full or ful are self-evident ; less means want or
dismissal ; age and ish imply act, effect, or result, but age also signifies space
of time and price ; ise or ize are verbal terminations ; ism denotes collection of
effects or classes of action ; ist and ite, personal agent ; we, if, mean causing or
producing ; ate, ated, ating, ation, ator, atory, and ace, all imply action or agent ;
el or le, annexed to verbs, make them frequentatives, as to prate, to prattle, £c.
ad or ade means mass or heap ; cide and cidal are to kill ; ard denotes nature,
species, kind, or manner; ward means looking to, or in the direction of;
hearted is applied to the feelings or passions, headed to the mind and judg-
ment ; stead and step indicate place ; dom, condition of existence ; head, hood,
and chief, mean principal and state ; ship, skip, or scape, also denote head or
chief; ce, cy, ity, tude, and th, are affixes to nouns of generality; fy is to make,
faction, the act of making, and sometimes the thing made, as petrifaction ; ign
expresses quality ; ow is of the kind ; some and sum mean quantity ; and the s,
so much abused by Gallic affectation, is properly an adverbial affix, as back-
ward is the quality of an action, backwards the manner of it ; stall and still are
to place ; tide and time are synonymous ; w is interchangeable with g, as guile
and wile. As to the prefixes, they are chiefly Latin or Greek prepositions,
and have nothing peculiar. Un is of Saxon origin, and is not merely a nega-
tive, but means to reverse the action of the verb to which it is prefixed. En
in composition becomes em, in, ig, il, im, or ir, according to the letter which
immediately follows it. Many writers confound the prefixes en and in, although
the latter properly signifies situation or place, and is also a negative ; thus, to
inquire, means to seek in or search the place, and to enquire only signifies to

make search. Farther explanations on this head may be found in the gram-
mars of Lovvth, Grant, and Allen, and the Analytical Introduction of Booth.

The Spanish terminations are easily acquired. It was observed by Mayans,
that many Spanish substantives and adjectives are Latin ablative cases singular,
or accusatives plural, as ars, arte, artes ; prudens, prudeute, prudentes. The
d, /, «, r, s, xy and z, are the only consonants, which can terminate a word,
although b, c, d, <JT, I, w, n, p, r, s, t, x, and z, may end a syllable; c, /, n, r, in
a few words admit of being doubled, and also the vowels a, e, i, and o, but
more rarely. The organs of speech render 6, p, w, and /, and, c, #, j and q in-
terchangeable in both languages ; in English s and z are commutable in verbal
terminations. The Latin t is almost always changed in Spanish for c or 2, as
gratia, gracia, ratio, razon ; the Latin mutes are likewise omitted, as scicntia,
ciencia ; in other cases an e is prefixed for the sake of euphony, as species
makes especie. The Latin adjectives in bilis obey the same law in Spanish
and English, and make ble ; au is changed to o, as aurum, oro ; i to e, as infir-
mus, enfermo ; u to o, as musca, mosca ; ovum, huevo ; / is converted into h, as
facere, hacer ; m into n, as lympha, linfa ; Latin infinitives become Spanish by
dropping the final e, as ponere, poner, dormire, dormir, stare, estar ; some words
are also augmented, by that spirit of magnanimity which animates every Spa-
niard, and which was judiciously observed by Smith in his Theory of Moral
Sentiments ; as from spes comes esperanza, cor, corazon ; and, as a proof of
their delicacy and temperance, comedere is reduced to comer. These literal
mutations will be evident to the classical reader, and to others any further
notice of them would be useless.

It remains to say something of the great and numerous additions to the
volumes now submitted to the public. Above ten whole sheets have been added
to the recent editions of this Dictionary, which, with the additional matter
gained by compressing the definitions so as to have few short lines, and a
greater length of page, as well as other alterations in the mode of printing, aug-
ment the contents to nearly twenty sheets more than the preceding editions.
In the Spanish-English, there are above 3000 entirely new articles introduced ;
in the English-Spanish above 12,000. Besides these additions, in both parts,
it will be found that very few of the old definitions have been allowed to pass,
without either correction or the addition of many new and appropriate
synonyms, several thousand of which are not to be found in any Spanish or
English dictionary yet published, or indeed in any dictionary of two languages,
which has fallen under the observation of the writer. The corrections have
been made after carefully consulting the writings of father Isla, Capmany,
Jovellanos, &c. and some Spanish living authors of established reputation. In
some words the reader will observe definitions in both parts diametrically
opposite to what are given in almost all other dictionaries ; he is not therefore
to conclude that they are wrong, but to examine facts, when he may perhaps
discover their general accuracy, and that they are derived from diligent
research. It rarely happens, as in the present case, that compilers of dictiona-
ries are equally well acquainted with words and with things : it is the want of
the latter, and more arduous kind of knowledge, which occasions the defective-
ness of all dictionaries. In this edition, it is believed, more terms of science,
arts, manufactures, and commerce, have been introduced than were ever before
attempted in a dictionary of two languages, and even more than exist in any
English dictionary extant.

Important political circumstances have recently happily combined to promote
an extended intercourse between England and Spain — both European and
American. The prejudices of religion, which had hitherto interdicted the dis-
semination of our literature, are rapidly vanishing before the edicts of a more

liberal government in the old country, whilst the separation of Spanish America
from its parent state cannot but infuse new life into our commercial enterprise,
and bring us more immediately in contact with a country, the natural resources
of which are boundless ; and with a people, who have manifested the strongest
desire to cultivate the friendship, and to repose the fullest confidence in the
known integrity and honour, of the British nation. That this copious Diction-
ary of the languages of these countries may be the medium of facilitating the
communication, and of promoting the best interests of each, is not only the
earnest desire, but is also the certain anticipation, of the Editors.

Lastly, the Editors regret, from particular circumstances, they are not per-
mitted to return publicly their thanks to many Spanish and other gentlemen,
who have generously assisted their researches, either by the loan of books, or
by written communications. To James Edwards, Esq. of Binstead, Isle of
Wight, they are however happy in having this opportunity of making their
grateful acknowledgments for the very handsome manner in which he favoured
them with some valuable books from his well-chosen library, and which they
believe to be only a small testimony of his friendship to literature, and of his
zeal for the diffusion of useful knowledge.

EXPLANATION OF THE CONTRACTIONS, &c.

The sm. sf. mean substantives masculine and 'feminine ; 5. implies that the word is of both genders ; va.
vn. IT. verbs active, neuter, and reflective or reciprocal ; a. adjective : ad. adverb ; pron. pronoun ; pa. par-
ticiple active. The contractions in parentheses are the first syllables of terms of science and arts, or names
of provinces where the word is most used, as (Anat.) Anatomy, (And.) Andalusia, (Ant.) Antiquated, (Ar.)
or (Arasr.) Aragon, (Arq.) Architecture, (Art.) Artillery, (Aum.) Augmentative, (Bot.) Botany, (Met.) Meta-
phor or Metaphorical ; and so of the others. Verbs active, neuter, or reciprocal are not repeated, but marked
thus, AFIRMAR, va. — m. — vr. When a word is substantive, adjective, and adverb, it is marked thus, MAL,
sm. — a. — ad. The masculine and feminine terminations 0, and A, and diminutives ico, ICA ; ILLO, ILLA ;
ITO, ITA ; UELO, UELA, cannot be misunderstood. The words printed in capitals, like ADULTERATED,
are such as have been derived from the .Spanish, but which have hitherto either eluded the researches of English
etymologists, or been erroneously ascribed to another source : the number might have been increased had
it been more essential. In the Second Volume the English words are accented so as to convey some idea
of their pronunciation. Thus, when a vowel is doubled and pronounced short, the accent is placed on the
first, as in brfaclies, pronounced breches ; when pronounced long, the accent is on the latter vowel, as in
breeding ; bearLike, pro. barelike ; teast&ie, pro. beestlike ; blood, pro. blud ; bloom, pro. blume, &c.

DICCIONARIO NUEVO

DE LAS

LENGUAS ESPAftOLA E INGLESA.

Espanol e Ingles — Spanish and English.

In the Spanish language, has but one
sound, and is pronounced as the open
English a in master.

A'. prep, which signifies, to, in, at, according to,
on, by, for, and of; as voy d Madrid, I am
going to Madrid ; d la Inglcsa, in the En-
glish fashion ; d oriente, in the east : jugar d
los miypes, to play at cards : d las ocho, at
eight o'clock : d pnieba, de bombas, bomb-
proof: d ley de Castilla, according to the law
of Castile : el vino d pie, he came on foot ;
quie,n d hierro mata, d hierro muere, he who
kills by the sword, dies by the sword ; das d
dos, two by two : d como vale tafancga ? d
trcinla realcs, for how much a bushel ? for
thirty reals ; estc libra va d Pedro, this book
is for Peter : este vaso hnele d vino, this glass
smells of wine : real de d ocho, piece of eight,
V. Real.

A1 coalesces with the masculine article el, and
instead of d cl, as anciently used, al is now
written, as al rey, to the king ; al papa, to
the pope. This prepositive article is also used
before the infinitive mode of verbs, as al ama-
nccer, at the break of day ; al parecer, ap-
parently. A1 is equivalent to the limit or end
of any place or time, d la cosccha pagard, I
shall pay at harvest-time ; desde aqui d S.
Juan, from this to St. John's day ; me llegaba
el agua d la garganta. the water was up to
my throat. Occasionally it implies towards
or opposite, as, sefue d ellos, volvid la cara
d tal parte, being towards or opposite them,
he turned his face to such a part.

A1 sometimes signifies the motive or principle,
as, d instancid de la villa, at the request of
the city : d quc proposito ? to what purpose ?
It also serves to express distributive numbers ;
as, d perdiz por barba, a partridge a-head. It
is likewise a mere explicative in some phrases
joined to a pronoun, as, d mi me consta, la
verdad, I know the truth, or, the truth is evi-
dent to me ; yo me culpo d mi, I blame my-
self, or, I take blame to myself; tu te alabas
d ti, thou praisest thyself; vamos d pasear,
let us take a walk. Before the infinjtive
mode, and at the beginning of a sentence, it
has sometimes a conditional sense, as, d dccir
verdad, if I must speak the truth.

A1. This preposition governs almost all parts of
speech, whether substantives, adjectives, pro-

ABA

nouns, or verbs ; d los hombres, to men : de
bueno a malo, from good to bad : d mi, d ti,
a, vosotros, to me, to thee, to you : a jugar,
to play. It sometimes points out the person
in whom the action of the verb terminates,
and is placed before the accusative case, as
amo d Pedro, I love Peter.

A1 is still used in some phrases instead of par,
en, sin, para and la ; and in obsolete writings
for con and de. In composition it serves to
convert substantives and adjectives into verbs,
as iibocar from boca, ablandar from blando,
&c. Formerly it was prefixed to many words,
as abaxar, amatar, &c. but being redundant
these words are now written baxar, matar,
&c.

A1 is frequently used adverbially, as, d deshora,
unseasonably ; d diferencia de csto, contrary
to this ; d proposito de eso, in consequence of
that ; d la verdad, truly ; d lo menos, at least ;
d sabiendas, knowingly ; d veccs, sometimes ;
d vista de ojos, evidently, at a glance.

CIs the third letter of the alphabet, and be-
fore e and i has generally the sound of the
English th in thick, or the soft z in zeal ; be-
fore a, o, u, I, and r, it sounds like k. It is
also a numeral, as, C. 100; 1^. 500, and
ClQ. 1000. The Spanish Academicians con-
sider ch as a distinct letter, double in figure
but simple in value, and therefore place it
after all the other words beginning with a c.
In this work it is retained in the place usual in
English. Ch has always the soft sound in Spa-
nish, the same as in the English word church,
except in words derived from Greek or He-

is pronounced as k ; but in such words the h
is often omitted, or the orthography changed,
